As much as how much I love Dungeon Fighter Online and the player character’s designs, I personally think this outfit certainly fits here.
So this is the 2nd awakening cut-in art for the Dark Templar class, it features a breast-plate with no shoulder straps slapped onto a naked torso. Not to mention her thigh highs have patches of skin exposed, and the artist even took extra effort to make the bared skin bulge out a bit.
It’s a bit unfortunate considering that her 1st awakening cut-in art has her more modesty dressed.
Yeah… I think it is safe to say that Dungeon Fighter Online has a few issues relating to female armor and costume design.
Which is kind of shame since they seem to genuinely love interacting with their community but apparently really buy into the myths that sex sells (along with other harmful myths). It’s particularly a shame in this case, because the Dark Templar can look pretty badass:
If you squint you can ever pretend she’s wearing pants!

I got this game “Stella Glow” recently and, while it’s not bad, Hilda (pictured) has a costume that bothers me. She wears this outfit anytime- in battle or out, so I guess it counts as armour? Either way, it’s ridiculous…
In the game, there are witches (like Hilda) who can cast magic by singing. While witches are singing, they are completely defenseless- after all, they’re focusing on the song. So it makes no sense at all to wear such useless armour- she could easily get stabbed in the stomach. Or anywhere else, really.
As for the bingo, hearts are there for the ones I’m more sure of, and stars are there for the ones I’m not so sure of. For example, the thigh-high boots. Her boots end below her knees but she has socks(?) that go to her thighs. For covers only nipples and genitals on torso, it also covers her sides? But her stomach is completely exposed. And bared back is more of a technicality- her hair and a cape (I think?) covers her back but neither of that will protect you.
Depending on what you think, she could have a bingo. Either way, she’s not fit for battle.
Yup, while no mildly sane person would ever consider that to be armor – that she’ll voluntarily wear it into battle makes it armor as far as the bingo is concerned. Particularly given her, shall we say… confrontational nature?
I wouldn’t normally count those as thigh highs, since they appear to be stockings (and are presumably held up with superglue), but nipples and genitalia definitely applies since that seems to be the only parts prioritized in cover with that outfit. Bared-back… well the nano-seconds it’s on display it’s unclear.
Perhaps the nicest thing that can be said is that if she runs around in an outfit like this – it’s no wonder she has to try so hard to get people to take her seriously.

While Rebecca’s cheerleader outfit seems like a terrible idea during a bio toxic zombie outbreak, I think we can all agree that Billy is empowered for the job

I’ve logged on into my steam account, got a link to the new Resident Evil’s pre-order page with this picture in it, and… May we discuss how refreshing it is to see a girl getting a normal (albeit a tad short) cheer leader costume, and a beefy dude getting this ridiculous belt bikini for his impressive pecs? I don’t really follow this franchise, but if there’s more of this in it, it may be worth following.
While it is nice that the RE guys remembered there is a definite demand for empowered men, it’s kind of telling that they had to give him that over the top gun to remind people “just because he’s sexy, doesn’t mean he’s not badass”… meanwhile Rebecca is literally Capcom’s cheerleader and merchandise model.
